Supernova Light Echos
    #5405720 - 03/15/06 08:38 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)



Can you find supernova 1987A? It isn't hard. It occurred at the center of the expanding bullseye pattern. Although this stellar detonation was first seen almost two decades ago, light from it continues to bounce off clumps of interstellar dust and be reflected to us today.

These expanding light echoes have been recorded in the above time-lapse movie recorded over four years from the Blanco 4-meter telescope in Chile. The first image is an image of the SN 1987A region, while the next four images were created by digitally subtracting consecutive images, taken a year apart, and leaving only the difference between the images.

Light echoes are seen moving out from the position of the supernova. The team who recorded the above light echoes around supernova 1987A has also found faint and previously unnoticed light echoes from two other supernovas in the Large Magellanic Cloud. Study of these light echoes has enabled more accurate determinations of the location and date of these two supernova explosions that were first visible hundreds of years ago.

Republican Values:

1) You can't get married to your spouse who is the same sex as you.
2) You can't have an abortion no matter how much you don't want a child.
3) You can't have a certain plant in your possession or you'll get locked up with a rapist and a murderer.

4) We need a smaller, less-intrusive government.
